how many atoms of hydrogen are in cellulose, c6h7o2(oh)3?
a 7
b 10
c 4
d 2
e 1
f 3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify carbon atoms in formula

In $C_6H_7O_2(OH)_3$, the sub - script of C is 6 and there are no other carbon - containing parts. So the number of carbon atoms is 6.

Step2: Identify hydrogen atoms in formula

In $C_6H_7O_2(OH)_3$, there are 7 H atoms in $H_7$ and 3 H atoms in $(OH)_3$. So the total number of hydrogen atoms is $7 + 3=10$.

Answer:

For the number of carbon atoms: d. 6
For the number of hydrogen atoms: b. 10
